What would it mean for your NICU if the next generation of fellows had only 4 to 8 weeks of NICU exposure before starting fellowship?

That is the reality today. And now the ABP is proposing to shorten neonatology fellowship from three years to two. ONTPD leaders Dr. Patrick Myers, Dr. Heather French, and Dr. Melissa Scala ran the numbers and found that meeting the new clinical hour requirements would mean asking fellows to work at roughly double what is currently recommended for ICU physicians, while eliminating the scholarly activity requirement entirely.

You cannot manufacture a 22 weeker. You cannot schedule an ECMO run.

The program directors who train the people standing next to you in your NICU are asking for one thing right now: a seat at the table before these changes go through. This episode lays out exactly what is at stake, what the data shows, and what the community is proposing instead. If you care about who is taking care of your patients in five years, this conversation is for you.

A new Cardio-Respiratory Interactions section is now live on NeoCardioLab. It explores how ventilation, intrathoracic pressures, and PVR dynamically shape neonatal hemodynamics, with a case showing R→L to L→R shunt reversal after resp optimization.

Adjunct abdominal USS for #NEC at time of initial diagnosis

7/23 USS -> findings of NEC when initial AXR unremarkable

Sensitivity aUSS for NEC 0.91

59% aUSS -> higher Bell stage

Implementing standardized aUSS guideline feasible & may aid NEC diagnosis

This week on The Incubator Podcast, Ben sits down with Dr. Edward Bell from the University of Iowa for our Giants of Neonatology series.

In the clip below, you’ll hear him share his thoughts on the “edges of viability” — and why 22 weeks might not be the limit we think it is. It made me stop and think about what’s next for our field… and it might make you think too.

Dear #Neotwitter, ⁦@CardioNeo⁩ - are you a #NICU that practices LISA or INSURE in extremely preterm infants? Have you ever seen #pulmonary hemorrhage soon after #surfactant ? Does having a higher mean airway pressure after surfactant reduce risk of pulmonary hemorrhage?
